Over the past several months we’ve been working hard to provide a more robust mobile development story inside of the Telerik Platform. We are taking the next step in improving and unifying the way mobile apps are built with our tools and services. As a result, the Platform 2.0 major release is just around the corner, giving the mobile developer the best starting point for a fast mobile app delivery.
You can find more details about what is coming in December in the announcement post, or by joining us in the upcoming webinar on 12/3.
If you just want a quick preview, take a sneak-peek at the new look and feel of Telerik Platform 2.0.
Mobile Web Projects to be Deprecated
This end is also a new beginning, as with the release of the new Telerik Platform we'll be deprecating Mobile Web Projects. For us, this means that we are truly focused on delivering the best mobile development journey, hybrid or native, and on making sure developers are getting all they need to be successful in the mobile development battlefield.
For those of you who have built Mobile Web Projects, now—prior to the December release—is a good time to export and backup your code and data.
Here are some tips and tricks for how to be on the safe side with your Web Project:
- If you have developed your project in the Platform cloud solution, here are the steps for how to export it
- If you are using the AppBuilder Windows Client, take a look at this article for how to export the project
- For the CLI users, these are the steps for exporting
In December, with the introduction of the new unified mobile Telerik Platform, we will discontinue the deprecated Web Projects. After that date they will stop working and will not be accessible in any of the Platform clients. If you still need your code after that date, please contact the support team for assistance.
